I graduated from Naropa University's Somatic Counseling Psychology Masters Program and am currently working at the Addictions Recovery Center, Intensive Services through Boulder County Public Health.

I have worked in the fields of mental health, addictions, and parenting for over 25 years. I enjoy helping people with depression, anxiety, and addictions turn their lives around using Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Parent Coaching.

I empower parents to manage their parenting challenges using Respect, Empathy, Appreciation, and Love (REAL Parenting). I offer parent coaching and 5 parenting classes: Becoming a Love and Logic Parent, Love and Logic Early Childhood Parenting Made Fun! Creating Happy Families and Responsible Kids, REAL Parenting, Active Parenting for Stepfamilies in 3, and Siblings Without Rivalry. I teach parenting classes fall, winter, spring, and summer. For parenting classes/coaching, see www.REALparenting.net.

I specialize in marriage counseling in Boulder, CO. I begin by providing either a half or full day marriage intensive for couples to make substantial progress right from the start when they need it most. My office is ideally located on the Pearl St. Mall next to Ben and Jerry's.

Participating in therapy is an investment in yourself. It is an active and creative collaboration between client and therapist. I strive to create a supportive and safe environment where clients can feel encouraged to work towards growth and healing. I draw from different theoretical approaches to best meet the unique needs of each client. My clients say they feel understood, inspired, and hopeful when working with me.
